Telomeres are repeating sequences of DNA commonly described as being located at the “ends” of chromosomes inside our cells to ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – We don’t often, if ever, associate babies with aging. They may have adorable wrinkles, but those aren’t the same as the ones frequently associated with, say, an octogenarian. But the ...

Scientists discovered that the protein RPA plays a critical and previously unconfirmed role in stimulating telomerase to maintain long, healthy telomeres. When RPA malfunctions, telomeres can shorten ...

Telomeres, the protective end caps on DNA, naturally shorten over time and is often used as a sign of biological ageing and longevity. Scientists have found a link between 3 to 4 cups of coffee and ...

Share on Pinterest Scientists have found that coffee may have anti-aging and protective effects for certain populations. Tatjana Zlatkovic/Stocksy Three to four cups of coffee a day could help ...

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective caps are crucial to the stability of chromosomes, and when telomeres ...

Telomeres are often described as the protective caps of our chromosomes. Over time, telomeres get shorter, and this shortening has been linked to aging, infertility, and heart disease. For years, the ...

A groundbreaking study has revealed that your mom and dad’s DNA don’t just pass on telomere length, they actively reshape it in the first days of life, influencing how we age and our risk of ...

Previous research has linked a common vitamin to a slowdown in aging — and now a new Harvard study appears to confirm those findings. The study, which was published in The American Journal of Clinical ...

Telomere shortening is a potential diagnostic tool for differentiating ILD types, particularly in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Genetic mutations in telomerase genes, such as TERC and TERT, ...
